Quality ReelGreat quality reel. I purchased it for a cheap, yet full featured reel to use inshore for specks and reds. It was put to the test and passed with flying colors in every category. It could cast popping cork rigs with ease in calm and windy conditions. Drag and durability on bull reds and black drums was exceptional. Very solid reel, never felt any “flex” in the frame.
I will be acquiring more in the near future.

Best bang for the buck.I received this reel about two weeks ago and have been fishing with it daily. This is truly a great product especially for the price. It has multiple adjustments to prevent backlash and cast many different baits perfectly. I would recommend buying this reel. I am actually ordering another one for my son.

cheaply madeI bought three of these during fathers day, not impressed. I have cheaper reels than these and they're fine, but these flex at the foot of reel. That's an awful feeling when you feeling a crankbait in and a bass hits it and you don't know if your reel is gonna stay on that rod or not. I mounted this on 5 different rods and checked the foot of the reel with my hands, it's the reel. terribly disappointed with bass pro shops. the pro qualifier is a much better purchase, I would also rather buy a silver maxx abu garcia as well. formulas are just cheap junk that you gotta pay 70 dollars for.

My brand new formula ltd bait caster is making slight but noticeable grinding sound. Maybe it needs oil or grease on the bearings but I can't seem to find any maintenance instructions anywhere. Booklet says to use oil but no instructions, can u help?
